![]() ![]() The music is meant to entertain audience and performer alike by disturbing the hell out of the former. The music is not meant to make the audience feel happy or even nice. One of the reasons that Linula will be able to find a coping mechanism in music, film, or the combinations of the two, is because Kronisk shares with her the true secret of the doom metal and black metal that is associated with the Dwarrow and Elves of Kali-Yuga. Do you see what I mean now about how different people respond to the same stimuli very differently?īut School’s Out is not going to be the only Alice Cooper song associated with Linula, either. This is because when Kronisk hears the song, he thinks of every child that was abused during the compulsory phase of the schooling system, the ones who could not carry on in spite of that, and how justice will cause them to drag the teachers that abused them to hell. School’s Out is a candidate for one of the songs that Kronisk passes on to Linula in order to learn and perform for an audience. But in spite of her efforts to avoid Kronisk, Linula finds herself interacting with him more as she discovers that she can work out and release the internal torment she experiences through things like film and music. Ruby‘s response is more professional in that sense, merely asking him what she needs to do, doing it, and letting him get on with his tasks. She makes as much effort as she possibly can to avoid him, even when he is trying help her. The response of the young Mage who resembles Kronisk more than she would like to admit is as one would expect. But the salient point here is that for reasons neither can help, the two women in this foursome come under the attention of the one-man Mage police force known as Kronisk. Being that one of them has made up their mind that they want to be a healer who helps to build emotionally strong children and repair broken men, she has a lot of school ahead of her. ![]() This story concerns itself with the interactions of four individuals who start the arc as students in their final year of secondary schooling, and has so far followed them into their second or third year of tertiary schooling. Recently, I posted an entry into which I meticulously copied, formatted, and clarified the text of a short story I wrote. But if the hundredth person in the group is me, or resembles me to a sufficient degree, that person will tell you quite a different story. Chances are that ninety-nine or even a hundred of them will tell you that it is a basic “school sucks” anthem designed to sell records through shock value, and nothing more. Then ask them what they thought of whilst listening to the song. Put a hundred people in a room and make them listen to School’s Out a couple of times. Although the song itself is a basic anthem concerning how the formalised education system of Western society is failing its constituents, it is also a superb example of how different stimuli can affect different beholders differently. Most of the album can be dismissed as furtive, meaningless rock, but the song School’s Out, which opens the album, has remained a regular part of Alice Cooper‘s stage act ever since the album was released. Titled School’s Out, the album itself is a loose concept album concerning itself with a delinquent in his final year of compulsory schooling. Most of them are good ones that should be in the collection of any person who wants to understand or make art about the grimier, dirtier, more disturbing side of life.Īlice Cooper‘s fifth album is also the source of one of the songs that is most inextricably associated with him. Rather than go into how Alice Cooper‘s stage persona and act have evolved in stages that came to a bit of a halt since his “comeback” in 1989, I am just going to talk about a handful of his albums. Today, we are going to discuss a few points in the musical career of one Vincent Damon Furnier, or as he has been signing things since shortly after he achieved fame under this alias, Alice Cooper. Anyone who has heard the sagas of characters like Kronisk and Linula already know the person I am talking about. So, in the interests of providing wholeness to my represented view of history, today I am going to talk about one of the other great influences upon my visual art, my limited forays in music, and most importantly my writing. But whilst they took this art and made it mainstream, they were far from the only or first example of music that was designed from the get-go to disturb the listener. For the simple reason that they codified and set an ISO-like standard for the art form that would eventually be known as doom metal. ![]() I have devoted a lot of words, more than I am willing to admit, to the fact that Black Sabbath are awesome beyond words. ![]()
